Christmas and New Year are approaching, which people are eagerly waiting for. However, during this time it is very important to be vigilant about the safety of children. Recently, a doctor has warned of a danger called 'granny purse syndrome', which can prove fatal for children.

Grainy purse syndrome is actually a disease in which common objects present in grandmother's purses can become a danger to children. According to the doctor, these purses often contain small coins, medicines or other such things, which can get stuck in the throat of children or they may be at risk of poisoning.

During

the festive season, when families gather and children keep playing around, the possibility of this danger increases. Sharing a video on social media, the doctor said that grandmothers often keep medicines and other items in their purses, which can be accessible to children. This becomes especially dangerous when these medicines are not stored safely in containers suitable for children.

According to a study, 10% to 20% of children have accidental poisoning due to their grandparents' medications. Experts say a spike in such cases is seen during the festive season as children are more active at home during this time. The doctor has advised all parents to make grandmothers aware of this danger and keep purses or medicines out of the reach of children. Also, it is advisable to keep the purse at a height or in a cupboard.
